what else you should know

organic flax seeds

Flax seed is a rich source of many nutrients, including protein, fiber, mucilage, trace minerals and more omega-3 fatty than fish oil. Bulk whole flax seed is also abundant in a class of plant compounds called lignans, which are potent antioxidants with phytoestrogenic properties. In order to benefit from the dietary fiber, however, it is necessary to grind the seed.

Aside from being a source food and fiber for cloth and paper, our whole flax seed for sale has been used for other practical purposes. During times of flood, for example, flax seed has been stuffed into sacks to absorb water and purposely block drains to reduce the threat of sewer backup. Once the floodwater receded, a string tied to the sack ensured its later retrieval.
